Balustrades — Albany, New York — Fine Art Print

Black and White Architectural Photography Print

This black and white photograph focuses on the balustrades and lanterns of the New York State Capitol, isolating their form against fog and softened light. The stonework carries weight and age, its details revealed through shadow rather than emphasis, while the building itself recedes into atmosphere.

The image is less concerned with the Capitol as a whole than with the elements that support it—the edges, the transitions, the parts designed to endure daily use and weather. The lanterns sit quietly atop the balustrade, functional and ornamental at once, marking the boundary between structure and open space.

This fine art print is intended for collectors drawn to architectural photographs that emphasize material, craftsmanship, and restraint—images that hold their presence without spectacle and reward close, unhurried looking.

Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints are hand signed/numbered on museum quality archival fine art Hahnemuhle Baryta paper. In my opinion there is no better medium to print and display fine art photographs on. Its surface is smooth with a subtle texture, and a slightly warm base that produces very pleasing B&W prints reminiscent of platinum prints and meets the highest industry standards regarding density, color gamut, color graduation, and image sharpness while preserving the special touch and feel of genuine art paper.
